DailyBuzz Style 9x9: Runway to Real Way

I was so thrilled to be selected for February's DailyBuzz Style 9x9 challenge. This month, we were asked to choose a runway look & then translate it into something wearable for everyday. Here is my inspiration photo, taken from the 3.1 Phillip Lim S/S 2012 runway:

I am a huge fan of the colorblocking trend and love the idea of using this concept with different pastel shades for spring. To make this "real way", I added my grey fur vest so it would be winter-weather appropriate & to help balance out the sweetness of these hues. Though I chose seafoam & pink, other color combinations I love (& would encourage you to try) are coral + mint, pale yellow + baby blue or lilac + peach.
